About the Companies

First Look MRI

Independently owned by Brian Gay, MD, a radiologist with a fellowship in MRI and a degree in physics. First Look MRI is the only company to offer a video report from the radiologist that explains the findings in simple terms. In addition to whole body scans, it also provides MRI exams on all body parts, such as knees, ankles, wrists, feet, shoulders, etc. It employs only board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists. First Look MRI currently operates 7 locations in Georgia, Texas, and Colorado.

Pros - More comprehensive 90-minute full diagnostic MRI scans with higher resolution in all planes, rather than the faster screening scans that are standard in the industry. All radiologists are fellowship-trained and create an innovative video report to explain the results. Super fast, same-day results and STAT option in under 90 minutes.

Cons - Full diagnostic scans of each body part take much longer. Much smaller footprint than competitors.

Prenuvo

A venture capital-backed company co-founded by Andrew Lacy, a serial entrepreneur, and Raj Attariwala, MD PhD, a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and radiologist with residencies in nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology. Prenuvo provides a user-friendly structured written report and a results review with a nurse practitioner or physician. Scans have large fields of view that include the arms and legs. Prenuvo operates about two dozen clinics in the US and internationally, and also sells membership packages that bundle scans with blood testing.

Pros - Innovative company with fantastic marketing and many locations around the country. Results review included with every scan.

Cons - Results can take one to several weeks. Large field-of-view images include the extremities, but at the cost of lower resolution.

Ezra (Function Health)

Acquired by Function Health in 2025, Ezra is a venture capital-backed company founded by Emi Gal, a software and machine learning engineer and serial entrepreneur, that uses FDA-cleared AI to shorten scan times. Ezra does not own its scanners; scans are performed at partner imaging centers. Its lowest-priced tiers are fast, but they leave out the chest, lungs, and heart. A separate low-dose CT of the lungs ($399) and coronary calcium CT ($349) can be added.

Pros - Lowest prices of the group, short scan times, and discounts for Function Health members.

Cons - MRI tiers do not image the chest, lungs, or heart. Quality can vary across independently owned partner centers and radiologists. The lung CT add-on uses radiation, though at a very low dose.

SimonMed

SimonMed is one of the largest outpatient imaging chains in the country. Its whole body MRI program, now sold as SimonMed Longevity (formerly simonONE), runs on 3 Tesla scanners at a subset of its centers. Patients choose from three tiers: a Core MRI of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, a version that adds the brain and neck, and the most complete version that adds the full spine and head and neck angiography. SimonMed's main business is traditional diagnostic imaging, with whole body screening as a growing service line.

Pros - 3 Tesla scanners, wide geographic reach, a low entry price for the Core MRI, and a one-on-one results consultation.

Cons - The cheaper tiers leave out the brain, neck, or spine, so the full exam costs close to other premium providers. Results take about a week, and screening is a smaller part of a large, high-volume imaging business.
